News flash! I don’t want to teach from home. Most teachers I know don’t want to do this.

50+? I’d like to know how you arrive at that number and how much compensation you think that would equal.

Seems overly simplified, but ok. Let’s go with that.

How much did you pay in property taxes last year? Let’s say $7k for example. ~50% goes to the schools so you would expect $1,750 in compensation from the county?

PP here. I’m thinking of FCPS. The numbers will probably vary for Falls Church.

Not the poster who cited 50%, but I will tell you my high school student is getting less than 50% of the subject instructional time she is supposed to be getting. 55 minutes twice a week, when normally it would be 1.5 hours two or three times a week depending on week.

Maybe you should file a complaint with FCPS’ customer service department. It sounds like your teachers aren’t adequately servicing you.

To appease the angry, torch waving, entitled parent crowd.

This does nothing to "appease" us parents. We want real education for our kids. How is that so hard for you to understand?

What surprises me is that you think she doesn’t understand or doesn’t care about your kids. She doesn’t even have a choice about where or how she is working come January. You are pleading with the wrong party.

The new variant is in CO now.

We are screwed big time.

If he had been in a public school this never would have happened!

‘Rona dares not enter our hallowed public school buildings.

Even if it was so bold, public schools are impervious to its wiles. It physically cannot spread there. Maybe the whole country should move into a public school long enough to wipe out covid and flatten the curve permanently? Mitigation

Personally I'm impressed by the virus's reading ability. "Oh, crap -- this is a SCHOOL and not another multihour-a-day gathering of people indoors during a pandemic? LOL! I feel so silly. My bad. I'll just move on down the street."

Just like it only affects people standing in restaurants, not the ones sitting down.
Just like many other stupid COVID rules we're all "following".....

Bars had to serve food to remain open in some areas. So, no standing around at a bar, but you and your friends could sit down at a table or at the bar and order a round of drinks, as long as you also ordered an appetizer or something.

Different district, and they made us do this at her beginning. It was a nightmare because there isn’t a separate room for every teacher, teaching assistant, and related service provider to work from. That means only one person can have their microphone on or you get horrible feedback. The wifi at the school is slow, so the video feed was breaking up all the time with everyone on it at once. Because we couldn’t be alone in the rooms we all had to wear masks at all times, and the kids could barely understand what we were saying. Teaching phonics was impossible. People kept coming in and interrupting to ask questions, drop off paperwork, etc. and it was very distracting. They eventually changed the policy. It was an ill advised method of control and did nothing to improve any productivity or student learning.

FCCPS addressed this. They spent thousands on cameras and mounted them in the high school so they say teaching with masks and wifi will not be a problem. They have it all figured out. Like most schools, the ones not teaching classes every day know what is best for teachers.

Seriously? You couldn’t have left off that last sentence? Stop putting out poison into the world, lady (or gentleman). Life is hard enough for folks as it is, right now.
